Need some advice, I was offered this
Genesis Equilibrium second-hand for 985€.
It's customized so far for what I can tell from the original catalogue, has an ultegra instead of 105 and the saddle which I have no clue of the quality.
My problem is that for the same price I can get a new GT grade 105 or cannondale / trek similar kind of bike and what's eating at me is that I can't pinpoint if the Genesis would be good for the use I have in mind and the lack of knowledge about it's components and manufacturing year / model, also the frame seems to be steel but I have never had a steel bike so I don't know if it would be good enough or worse than the nowadays alu-carbon fork combo.
My intended use would be training, travel for long hours over road 60% and off-road 40%, touring-backpacking.
